She's an arthropodic girlThe kind who might give birth to larvaAnd she will turn her lover into chowBecause she's the Insect Queen!

She likes the boy SupermanThe one that Bibbo calls "his fav'rit"And when she puts him in a cocoon it's the right timeTo trade identities.

That girl's covered in chitinThe girl's a superfreak!The kind of girl you read aboutIn entomological magazines!That lady's got a thoraxThe girl's a superfreak!I think I saw her brotherIn Smallville's second week!

The birthday cake pannel has always amused me. Especially the next panel, where everyone decides to lock it up in a display case, in memory of Superboy. Then there's the tag saying "Cake Made by Superboy". Ugh.

Re the cake: Superboy is the only person in Smallville who doesn't know that Superboy is an awful cook, and they're all too nice to tell him. "Eat it! Are you k-... I mean, er, I'd rather save it as a memento of this day. Yeah, that's it."

Every time I see Lana in her Insect Queen costume, I want her to ask Superboy, "Does this costume make my butt look fat?"

I think so, Brainy, but where are we going to get a super-elastic blanket, a hand-crafted boomerang, and a 20th-century ladder?

"I'm not ready to go all the way, Clark. Let's just cocoon. Er, spoon! I mean spoon!"

The eyes of Clark are glowing in the darkAll the sweet, pink icing flowing down -No-one ate the cake he baked in vainAnd they wanted to display itBut that only would betray itAnd he'll never have that recipe againOh, no!
